THE FALL FESTIVAL.
The Phosphate Companies Making
Very Little Money.

N0Iy LlGJl0 MOuoy.
CHARLESTON, Oct 3O.-The old city by
the sea is just now on the eve of what
promises to be a memorable celebration
She will celebrate this week her resurrec
tion from the earthquake ruins of 1886
The carnival has grown into large proper
tions, and with favorable meteorological
accessories will doubtless prove great sue
cess. The funniest part of it, is that il
grew from a small beginning. The mil
lionaires of Charleston were very economical
in their contributions at first, but were
finally shamed Tito doubling up their
contributions and as the programme grew
the enthusiasm grew, until finally there is a
promise of week of rare carnival, which
cannot fail to be attractive to those who
may visit the city. The millionaires OF
Charleston by the way are queer lot
Unlike those of Atlanta, Savannah, Angus
ia and Columbia, they rarely ever appear
in public as investors in any enterprise thai
tends to benefit the city.
ANOTHER NARROW ESCAPE
Charleston has had one more narrow es
cape from a cotton fire. Nine bales at one
of the congresses were discovered in blaze
a day or two ago. There were several
thousand bales in the building at the time
and yet the fire was confined to the original
nine bales. People are beginning to think
now that the old city has had her share
of misfortunes and that her time has ar
rived for good luck
ABOUT THE PHosPHATEs
The legislative commission appointed to
investigate the phosphate deposits on the
sea coast hasibeen in session here The OBJ
iect for which the commission was appoint
ed is to see whether the State is deriving a
sufficient income from the ROYALTY and
whether the mining is conducted as system
aticall as it could be. The investigation
thus far has developed the fact that the
mining of river rock is not very systematic
ally conducted. Only one or two of the
river companies have made money.
The production has been so great
that the price of phosphate rock
has got below paying figure, and ruin
and bankruptcy stare many of the miners
in the face. All of the witnesses who testi-
fed before the commission expressed the
opinion that the State should do something
to regulate the production. There was a
pool at one time to control the price of
rock, but this was broken up several years
ago owing to the underselling of the river
companies and the price of rock has been
falling ever since
1t is not improbable that an effort will be
made at the next session of tho General AS
sembly to increase the royalty on river rock,
and it may be that the present commission
NAV report plan by which the production
may be regulated. The State at present gets
about $l25, 600 per annum income from the
ROYALTY on river rock, but the right to mine
it has been SO indiscriminately granted that
mining has almost ceased to be profitable,
and if things go on at the present rate this
income will probably die out in the course
OF three or four years.

IRISH POLICE Ell LUDED.
Mr.. O'Brien Makes Speech in Spite
of His Prosecutors.

OF his Prosecutors.
DUBLIN, Oct. 30.-At Kanturk to-day Mr..
O'Brien eluded the police, and addressed an
immense crowd of people. He said this was
probably his last day of liberty for some
time, and he was proud to spend it there.
He ridiculed Balfour's idea of repressing
agitation by combining the Irish members Of
the House of Commons. 'These members he
said "are the outposts of &c, 900 900
of the Irish race. If this is conspiracy, it
is conspiracy with every element to make a
national and great cause that is unconquer-
able.n The tenants who adopted the plan
of campaign would be we'll taken care of,
though such tenants were not likely to be
eylcted through the fears of the landlords.
At Mitchellstown James Brougham read
Mr.. OBrienS illegal speech, and defied the
government to prosecute him.
LETTER BY SIR BLUNT.
LONDON, Oct. 30.--Sir Wifrid Blunt,
who is out on bail pending an appeal from
his conviction for violating the crimes act
in speaking at a proclaimed meeting at
Woodford, has written letter to Lord
Randolph Churchill He says he does not
Woodford last Sunday, and had known of
the days of Clanricarde he would
have done as the writer did. He con-
cluded: II am willing to bear hard
labor on any other penal treatment which
Balfour may decree, and l shall bear him
no ill-will, but as concerns the law, he plays
with loaded dice. The new crimes act is
modelled on those hanging commissions
which you and denounced in Egypt five
years ago"
The correspondent of the Chronicle at
Rome denies emphatically that the Pope
b0lds the same views regarding Ireland as
does Mr.. Gladstone The Pope he says, be-
lieves in the settlement of agrarian ques
tions, but not in home rule.

An overworEoa Rector Disappears.

CHICAGO, April 2O-T6e members of
Grace Episcopal Church are deeply con-
cerned over the mysterious disappearance
of Rev. Robert W. Springer, the assistant
rector Of that parish. He was q young
man obout q, and the extra work Of Lent,
together with heavy class work, it is said,
weighed upon him.
Sunday morning he started for Grace
Church, but was compelled to stop at q
hotel and send for physician who found
him somewhat delirious and threatened
with brain fever. Monday morning, dur
ing the temporary absence of his nurse,
Mr.. Spring er disappeared, and no trace Of
him has yet been found. II was thought he
may have gone to his sister at Louisville,

was learned she had heard nothing Of him.

A ROYAL GUEST.

The Queen of the CannIbal Islands After
Much Trjbulation, Reaches America.
SAN Francisco, April 20.-The long
looked for Queen Kapiolani, OF the San
wich Islands, is expected in San Francisco
this evening by the Oceanic Steamship
Company's steamer Australia.
With Her Hawaiin Majesty comes Prin-
cess Lilliokoland, with several brown and
white dignitaries Of King Kalakua's realm.
Her Majesty was to have come TO Amer
lea many months ago, journeyed by easy
stages through Eastern cities, and crossed
to Europe, but at the last moment the
royal exchequer gave out and the necessary
coin could not be raised.
AT the same time relations had become
strained between the Hawaiian Court and
Claus Spreckels, the Sugar King" who
had heretofore provided all the members of
the royal blood with palaces as we'll as
with pocket money. Kalakaua had al
lowed q syndicate hostile TO Spreckels to
undertake to float O loan of four million
dollars without giving Spreckels chance
to make anything ont of it, so the mon
arch of the sugar barrel pranced to the
court, and, tearing off his knightly decora-
tons, including stars, garters, etc, flung
them eontemptuously at the foot of the
throne and departed in high dudgeon.
The result Of this was that Her Majesty
KapiOlani had to forego the pleasure of her
trip to America, and the next steamer, in
steady Of bringing the Queen, brought q
delicately scented note to the Hawaiian
Counsel, stating that Her Majesty,
through a desire to attend the Kalakaua
jubilee, had concluded TO remain in the
Islands for the winter. Her arrival indi-
Gates that the royal exchequer has been
replenished, but until the steamer arrives
it will not be known exactly how the
junketing fund was subscribed. Some
think here that Herman Bendel, Of San
Francisco, the lately promoted grocer who
received knightly titles for his liberality in
Hawaiian matters, has done the honors.
Others are convinced that Notwithstanding
the assertions Of the deposed Sir Knight
Claus Spreckels, the loan of four million
dollars has been Aoated in England.
Kalakaua is already discounting his war
